Hotdog-Opolis in Boca Raton, Florida

My bud Jamie swears by Hotdog-Opolis. He threatened that if I ate there without him, there would be hell to pay.

I’m an eater, not a fighter, so I let him know of my impending visit to this hot dog haven. We agreed to meet for lunch right at their opening time.

The number of options is overwhelming.

It was refreshing to see that they do fresh-cut fries and that they were fried perfectly in 100% peanut oil.

Jamie insisted that I order the Peking Jumbo Dog (wrapped in duck bacon, hoisin sauce, pineapple sauce & scallions). If I owned a time machine, I would go back and have this again for the first time, over and over again, Groundhog’s Day-style. Wow!

One of his favorites isn’t a hot dog but the Char-Grilled Salami on a pretzel bun. It might sound simple, and it kind of is, but it’s great.

There’s a pretty good corn dog on the menu too. I’d skip out on the cheeseburger though as the dogs are way superior to it, no need to waste valuable stomach space.

Plus that chili cheese dog on the poppyseed bun fell from the heavens into my hands, lol

I’m not exactly sure how we were able to get through it, but we did, and I’d do it again.

I just might, but don’t tell Jamie.
